This is simple arithmetic on the numbers you enter. It does not include lost customers, recovery costs, data loss or fines. Use your own figures for the most useful result.
Where downtime cost comes from
Idle people
Every employee who cannot work still costs you wages, benefits and overhead.
Lost revenue
Sales, billable time and orders stop or slip while systems are down.
Catch up work
Backlogs, overtime and rework follow after systems return.
Recovery effort
Restoring data, checking systems and talking to customers takes time too.
How managed IT lowers the number
- Monitoring and patching that catch problems before they stop work
- Backups that are tested, so restores are planned and not guesswork
- Security controls that make a serious outage less likely
- A help desk that answers quickly and already knows your setup

Is the result exact?
No. It multiplies the figures you enter. Your real cost depends on how your business works and may be higher or lower.
What should I enter for cost per person?
Use an average hourly cost including pay and benefits. If unsure, start with a rough number and adjust.
Do you store what I enter?
No. The calculation runs in your browser. Your numbers are only sent if you choose to contact us.
